"Jealously guarded heirloom recipes are shared in Pimamanan, promoting the taste of Pampanga, the culture of the Kapampangans beyond the Central Luzon Plain. Beyond nourishment, food is an expression of culture. It is History we can taste on the tip of our tongues, Heritage we savour and devour with gusto." -Ambeth Ocampo HV. De la Costa Professor in History and the Humanities Ateneo de Manila University "I cannot imagine another book on Kapampangan cuisine to get better than this. The words and images on the pages of this book do justice to the thrill of the actual experience of Kapampangan food."-Robby Tantingco Director Center for Kapampangan Studies "It's easy to think that if you live in a certain province, itl be easy to discover traditional dishes. It's actually more complex than it sounds. Recipes are rarely written, traditions get lost, replaced by new ones or national and international dishes. It's now more than ever, important, to document and uplift these recipes at a national level, so that we can all have a better understanding of the tapestry that is Filipino cuisine."-Erwan Heussaff Content Creator & Food Connoisseur James Beard Awardee
